Who We Are

We help time-poor professionals across Australia unlock the full value of their property. From independent feasibility through to planning, construction, and project management. Expert guidance at every stage.

Our Services

Bringing Your Project To Life

Four stages, one point of contact. The short version is below, or see the full breakdown.

Feasibility

Know before you commit.

We model your site's full development potential, zoning, yield, build cost, margin, so you have clear numbers before spending a dollar on architects or planners. If it doesn't stack up, we'll tell you.

  • Independent feasibility with no bias
  • Initial read within 72 hours, full report within the week
  • Profit, build cost, risk and equity uplift in one report

Planning Permit Coordination

Secure the best possible permit for your site.

We assemble and run your full consultant team and chase the maximum permit your site allows, not just an approval. The design is reviewed by a sales agent and a builder before it's lodged.

  • One point of contact for the whole consultant team
  • Design reviewed by agent and builder before lodgement
  • Council RFIs managed on your behalf

Drawings & Tender

Engineered for efficiency, tendered for value.

A clean, fully coordinated drawing set that builders can price with confidence, then a competitive tender across at least four qualified builders, assessed apples-for-apples.

  • Full drawing suite coordinated across all consultants
  • Minimum four builders tendered, priced apples-for-apples
  • Contract negotiated in your favour before you sign

Construction drawings and builder tender summaries reviewed with a client team
Project Management & Delivery

Your project delivered, your outcome realised.

Your eyes and ears on site. Every progress claim is checked before it's paid, every variation scrutinised before it's approved, then your exit strategy executed: sell, lease, refinance or hold.

  • Progress claims verified before payment
  • Variations scrutinised, budget protected
  • Exit strategy executed: sale, lease, refinance or hold

The Reality

Developing is harder than the property gurus let on.

You own a site that could be more than it is, you just don't have the time, the development expertise, or the modelling firepower to know what to do with it. That's the gap we close.

  • Builders won't tell you a site doesn't stack up, they get paid to build.
  • The same block can be a profitable scheme or a money-losing one depending on layout, yield and consultant choices. You need someone with no skin in the build to model it honestly.
  • Planning, drawings, tenders, contracts, construction management, 18+ months of full-time project work for someone who already runs a practice or executive role.
  • One bad permit decision, one wrong builder, and the equity uplift quietly disappears.

Render of the three-townhouse Mount Waverley scheme from the central driveway
Mount Waverley · 2026

A $450K opportunity, modelled out of a $60K-a-year loss.

An investment block bleeding cash, remodelled into a three-townhouse scheme. We modelled every configuration that could fix it, one came out ahead, and the permit was approved first time. Now under construction.

Your Development Journey

The Aspirant Process.

1

Discovery call

Tell us about your property on a free 20-minute call with the team. You'll get an honest view on whether development is worth pursuing, and an initial feasibility read back to you within 72 hours.

2

Feasibility & scheme

We model your property's full development potential, zoning, yield, build costs, and profit, then identify the optimal scheme for your goals. You receive a clear report you can act on, not a spreadsheet you have to interpret.

3

Planning permit secured

We assemble and coordinate your full consultant team, review the design with a sales agent and builder before lodgement, and manage the process through to the best possible permit your site allows.

4

Drawings, tender & contract

We coordinate your full construction drawing suite with a focus on engineering efficiency and cost, tender to a minimum of four qualified builders, assess every submission apples-for-apples, and negotiate the contract in your favour.

5

Project management & delivery

We manage construction from start to final handover, monitoring progress claims, variations, quality, and programme on your behalf. As completion approaches, we coordinate your exit strategy, whether sale, lease, or refinance, to maximise your return.

What "feasibility to handover" looks like.

A built, handed-over development, and a feasibility scheme that turned a loss-making site into a profitable one.

Edward Bun
Director

Edward Bun

Edward is a residential developer with years of hands-on experience delivering townhouse and multi-residential projects across Melbourne, from site acquisition through to completion.

He founded Aspirant Projects after seeing the same problem repeatedly: property owners with valuable land and no trusted, independent expert in their corner. No one to tell them the honest numbers. No one accountable across the whole journey. Aspirant exists to fix that.

Every client benefits directly from Edward’s experience, his professional network of planners, architects, engineers and builders, and the standards he has set across feasibility, planning and delivery.
Ricki
Partner

Ricki

Ricki’s passion for property began early, purchasing his first property at just 18 and gaining firsthand experience in property ownership and investment from a young age. He went on to build experience across real estate sales, property investment and business development, developing a strong understanding of the property market, client needs and the importance of making well-informed property decisions.

At Aspirant Projects, Ricki focuses on client relations and business development, working closely with clients to understand their goals and guide them through the development journey. His ability to build strong relationships and simplify complex conversations helps clients feel informed and confident throughout the process.

Ricki is passionate about identifying opportunities, connecting the right people and helping clients unlock the potential of their property. His focus is on clear communication, strong relationships and ensuring every client feels supported from the initial conversation through to project delivery.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Straight answers on how we work, what it costs and who you'll be dealing with. Anything missing, ask us, the team will get back to you.

No, Aspirant is an advisory, coordination and construction-management practice, not a builder. We model the feasibility, secure the planning permit, produce the construction documentation, tender the build to qualified builders and project-manage construction through to handover. You get an independent team whose only job is your outcome, not the build margin.

The free consult is the right way to find out if your site is worth modelling in the first place; from there we'll quote the work in writing before anything starts.

No. Come in at any stage and stop at any stage. Plenty of clients start with just feasibility, get a clear read on the numbers, and decide from there. If you'd rather, we can hand you a shovel-ready, permit-approved project to take to market yourself.

Initial feasibility turnaround is around 72 hours, a first-pass read on yield, costs and likely return. The full feasibility report follows once we've modelled the optimal scheme in detail.

No, and be wary of anyone who does. Feasibility figures are indicative, every site gets its own model, and planning approval, construction costs and final profitability depend on factors outside our control. What we do guarantee is honest numbers and a team that will tell you not to proceed if it doesn't work.

The Aspirant Projects team, led by our founder, a project manager and residential developer with years delivering townhouses, dual-occupancies and mixed-use projects across Melbourne. No juniors, no template reports, one point of contact from the first call to final handover.
